  1. Once those Towers were destroyed it stopped being a local matter. The future of the site is something that people from across the nation and the world care about deeply. Why should two New York politicians be standing in the way of what most people want to see rebuilt?

  2. I get cheers from the fellas at my local firehouse when they see me in my “REBUILD” shirt. Isn’t it strange that when they had that architectural “beauty contest” at the Wintergarden back in 2002 putting back what was there was not even a choice? I wanted to scream!

    The Israelis are old hands at this, and to them it’s not even a question. No debate, no palaver, no design contests. As soon as the bodies are removed (painstakingly, bit by bit, as Jewish law dictates), construction crews are on the scene and they put back what was there. That tells the Arabs that they cannot win.

  3. WE MUST REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS. WHEN AMERICA WAS ATTACKED AT PEARL HARBOR SOME OF OUR FINEST BATTLESHIPS WERE SUNK OR DESTROYED. OUR ENEMIES THOUGHT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD LOSE THE WILL TO FIGHT AND OUR ENEMIES WOULD CONTROL THE WORLD. BUT WE DID NOT. WE RAISED THOSE SUNKEN BATTLESHIPS, REFITTED THEM, REMANED THEM, SENT THEM BACK OUT TO SEA TO DEFEAT JAPAN AND THEN JAPAN KNEW THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THAT IS WHY WE MUST REBUILD. WE MUST BECOME THE NATION WE ONCE WAS AND NOT BE AFRAID

  4. The Twin Towers deserve to be brought back to where they belong. The Freedom Tower symbolizes nothing but a victory for Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. As a native of Israel, the Freedom Tower is a shot in the foot when it comes to defying terrorism.

  5. The Ground Zero isn’t sacred ground–it’s DEFILED GROUND. To deny this is to deny reality. Plain and simple. And shall maintain that status until the Twin Towers are restored. G-d bless those lost. G-d bless America.

  6. Stop the nonsense and put the Towers back up where they belong.

    And enough with this nonsense about the Memorial being the most important thing. It isn’t. It can be decent, dignified and appropriate without costing billions.

  7. Rebuilding the towers is the ONLY answer…!!! NOTHING else will give me back the energy and satisfaction to be a New Yorker than seeing the even taller new twin towers in the skyline of our city…!!!

  8. Although I believe there are alternatives to rebuilding the twins, I believe any new structure should be at least one story taller than the original towers (with a public observation deck at its peak).

  9. We need to rebuild the twin towers on a new footprint. They should be taller, stronger, and better. NYC needs this. Why not make them the tallest in the world? The current redesign proposal is simply too small and not tall enough. Let’s do it!

  10. Rebuilding the Twins would send a bold message of defiance to the 9/11 murderers from an aroused America, but NOT rebuilding them means we will let the killers dictate what our skyline will look like for the next hundred years or more. NUTS TO THAT!

  11. the twin towers should be rebuilt–nothing else would fill the void that they left.Anything else would be a permanent reminder of what had been lost–not just the lives of those so monstrously taken, but the resolve and courage of all our heroes.

  12. Rebuild the Twin Towers. There is no compelling reason why anything less should be part of the New York City skyline. We have the greatest city in the world, and must not settle for less.
